Sentinel Digital Desk

So far as Hindi cinema concerned, it is fortunate to have a number of comic actors who can really make an audience laugh uncontrollably.

Let's take a look at our 'Desi-Jodi' collection.

Akshay Kumar & Paresh Rawal

"Utha le," "arey aise kaise utha loon..." 40–50 kilogrammes ki toh hogi hi. Just raise your hand if you are familiar with this conversation between Raju and Baburao in ‘Hera Pheri’. The Akshay Kumar-Paresh Rawal desi jodi has kept us delighted in Phir Hera Pheri, Welcome, Awara Paagal Deewana, Bhagam Bhag, Deewane Huye Paagal, etc.

Aamir Khan & Salman Khan

Aamir Khan and Salman Khan demonstrated their versatility in the iconic classic ‘Andaz Apna Apna’ by excelling in their different comic parts. Needless to say that this pair has been close to the hearts of many for their hilarious banter.

Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav

The comedic duo of Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav as Gundya and Bandya in ‘Chup Chup Ke’ completely overshadowed the leads. A humorous sequence in which they both attempt to determine Jeetu's location deserves special note. Paresh said, "Ummm...bori...ummm...bori. Bandar ke baare mein tu bata, ab bandar ke." Rajpal then imitated a monkey in real life.

Govinda and Sanjay Dutt

The hilarious camaraderie between Govinda and Sanjay Dutt in ‘Haseena Maan Jayegi’ and ‘Jodi No. 1’ respectively was all about two hip guys giving us laughs.

Govinda and Kader Khan

The chemistry between Govinda and Kader Khan in movies like ‘Coolie No. 1’, ‘Raja Babu’, ‘Aankhen’, and ‘Joru Ka Ghulam’, to name a few, was phenomenal. They excelled in every role they played, from competing as a Dhaba owner and business tycoon in ‘Dulhe Raja’ to being a father and son team in ‘Hero No. 1’.
